Hello everyone,
Back today to share what idea popped in my head when sharing a post or two ago using grungy papers..probably not a new idea, and probably been done before, I would not know as I live in my own world and we are all very happy together..
But I was online browsing with my click finger taped to the desk!!..and found these frames from TH..
and I really liked them but they are pricy for what they are..and when sharing those papers the other day, the idea came to just make my own with different frames shapes etc,etc,etc,
I have not sewn mine yet, but plan to now my DIL filled my bobbin for me, my machine wont do that, it is broken..
I also found this cute little cheap wooden stamp in my stash and gold embossed a few for my ready to go box, isn't it lovely..was 99 cents when I bought it..
anyway, back to my project...
LOOK!!
I made all these in an hour or two, no more than that.
this photo is the frames, inserts, and cut off edges.
.I saved, and going to use them all...
These are the deliberate frames I ended up with and used
up scraps mainly.to cut them out or at least older stuff..
These are all the insides bits, I will ink and use as ephemera..
these are some frames of the off cuts that I had not trimmed at this time, but did
these have been trimmed to as even at the sides that I could, they will be used..
and these were hidden under the box I was using and at that
stage had put all my stuff away and stood looking at these, thinking, and then popped them away for another day.
.
So, what you think?, good saving, fun to do, not hurting anyone.
and I have a bucket load of frames to do whatever I want to do. yay!!
Thank you so much for stopping by, I'm off to do some sewing..
Luv CHRISSYxx

That's a brilliant idea Chrissy and they look incredible xx
Bravo, Chrissy! These were a wonderful idea. I agree, why spend the money when you can make something so lovely yourself?! And too, no waste this way, so better all around.
Brilliant idea Chrissy! They look just as good as the TH ones -, are totally unique to you and for a fraction of the price!

Oh yes, very smart of you not to click! Good luck with the sewing, I need to pull out my machine and see if MINE works, lol. xoxo
I saw them too and thought the same thing that I could make my own but hadn't tried it yet, you are so good at thinking something and then getting it done, I have to be more like that, these look great and look forward to seeing what you may do with them now!
Absolutely brilliant idea Chrissy. Why not make your own. I was reading your post and glanced over at my sewing machine with a cheeky grin lol. Can't wait to see what you come up with for these!!
